I went to New York in the summer of 2023. It was by far one of the best experiences I have ever had. There was just so much going on. We went to so many shops and it was so cool. We took the underground subway from the hotel to the Times Square. On our first day day we did a bus tour of the city’s most important places. We were able to hop on and off because my parents bought a day trip pass. We ate in Chinatown , we had the biggest slice of pizza I’ve ever seen and we watched a lot of street performers. They would gather a large crowd and then have people pay money to see their tricks. We also watched a live action play on Broadway, The Lion King. We weren’t allowed to take any pictures until the very end of the play before the curtain closed. But my favorite part of the entire trip was when we went on a boat to see the Statue of Liberty. It was really cool to see it up close and to see all the tiny details on it. We were also shown the Brooklyn Street Bridge and got to see some of the rent controlled housing in New York on the boat.
